Sir Redvers Buffers testimony
strongly supports all that is said by
the Irish leaders Of the condition of
the country-and that shows g. condi-
ton OF things that would justify in
surrection. He Gays that "what law
there is in counties Kerry, Clare and
Cork was on the side of the rich," and
he expressed the opinion that "it
would be serious matter, with their
grievances unredressed, to attempt
to repress by force the tenants right
openly to associate for the protection
OF their interests. A majority of the
tenants he said, struggled to pay
their rents, and, where they could, did
pay; but in a great many cases the
rents were too high and such as the
tenants could not pay" He said
"there would never be peace in Ireland
until there had been established a.
court having strong coercive powers
over bad landlords and protective
powers over poor tenants" This is
the condition OF things as 1t appears
to British officer sent to Ireland as
commander of troops at time
when it was expected that an extend
ed application of the method of evic.
ton would so exasperate the whole
population as to endanger peace,

More or less reliable estimates put
Henry Ward Beecher's fortune at. from
100000 to $15O,OOO, besides $50.
600 or $50, 900 of life insurance. The
earnings of his life are figured up at
Sl:25O,OOO by the same authorities.
The difference between what the great
preacher received for his labors and
what he possessed when he died ia
nearly $4,000 a year for every year
since he was ten years old and about
$4,000 annually after he reached the
age OF thirty. This shows what vast
sums were given away, lost through
poor Judgment and carelessness in
business matters, and spent in some
singular forms OF extravaganza.

reason that the names of the ducal

that the enterprise is a private specu-

Can't Tell the Difference.

ut is O fact" said q somewhat

chestnut to set out whisky when
brandy is called for, and not one in
ten can tell the difference. have off,
en- been told by customer that he
had never tasted finer brandy, when
he was drinking q very ordinary
whisky. There are few people who
priced wines. l remember nearly
splitting my sides once laughing at
man who was ordering champagne.
He WAS drinking Werner's American
extra-dry, and told his friend how
he once drank it with NJ. Wer.
ner in Paris. He thought it
was the highest priced French
wine, until he found out it was cost
ing him only dollar bottle; then
he wilted. Even manufacturers are
sold. Once at q convention OF the
beer brewers of the country heard a
brewer boast that he could name any
kind of beer with his eyes blinded. We
tried him, and when the handkerchief
was over his eyes We gave him nine
sips out OF the same glass and heard
him name nine different brands.
That was very good sport. AS
matter of fact, this telling liquors by
the taste is very delicate business.
BY modern processes distillers can age
liquor so as to fool even the old timers.
The worst case I ever struck was
fisherman who rowed me down tho
river last summer. l offered him
swig out of bottle containing very
fine article of whisky. He returned It
saying it was poor stuff. handed
him a bottle containing some 'rot-gut'

Indian NicknanleS.

Indians are known to each other by
certain tribal or family names, which
for some mysterious reason they de.
cline to reveal, says a. writer in the
Springfield Republican. No maid or
wife who has long since passed the
twenties is half so solicitous to con-
ceal her age as an Indian is to conceal
his family name. Like more highly,
civilized peoples, however, the prac.
tice of giving nicknames fourishes
among them, and these are the names
that We find upon the freight books
at the agency.
The '.Bear" family stands high
upon the list Of those who
work. There is High Bear,

operation Troublesome Bear, if he
lives up to his name, may give him
not q little inconvenience. In colors
we have Red Bear, Yellow Bear and
Brown Bear, but no black bear; and,
with John Bear, Brave Bear and
American Bear the list closes. The
"Horse" family occupies number OF
pages, giving us Horned Horse, Eagle
Horse, Blue Horse, Cloud Horse and
Red Horse Owner. Next comes Plenty

triotic interest in native industries
leads us to hope that American Horse
will not be beaten by Plenty Horse,

confess to doubt as to whether Big
Belly Sorrel Horse or White Cow
Walking will be the Last Horse in the
race.
The Bull and Dog families are about
equally represented. Little Bull, Slow
Bull, Yellow Bull, Lone Bull and One
Bull are doubtless of better stock
than Scabby Bull, who might perhaps
consult Medicine Bull to advantage.
1t is to be hoped also that Brave Bull

The Military Frontier of France.
The cession of Alsace and Lorraine
1olacnd Matz md Gfra nh,,nn Aho l-o..a

The cession OF Alsace and Lorraine
placed Metz and Strasburg, the keys
OF the old French frontier in German
hands. 1t gave France new frontier
and a very open one, frontier un-
protected by any very great natural
obstacles, for the Germans now held
both sides of the Rhine, and the north
ern passes OF the Vosges (the passes
by which the French army used to
march to the Rhine under Napoleon l. J
were we'll within the new German ter
ritory. Moreover, this naturally open
frontier might be said to be wholly
unprotected by art once Metz and
Strasburg were gone. True there
was the fortress of Belfort on the ex-
treme right. guarding the we'll marked
valley between the Vosges and the Ju-

was only the wreck of a fortress,
and in any case it's works were not OF
such a character as to fit it for it's new
position on the very frontier line.
Taught by the hard lessons of defeat,
the French Government at once set to
work to put the new frontier into a
thorough state of defense. Successive
War Ministers have steadily worked
upon the lines originally laid down by
the engineers charged with the task in
1871. Money has not been spared.
It has been spent by millions. and now,
after the labor OF 16 years, the work
is done. Probably so vast scheme
Of military engineering was never be.
fore planned and executed in so brief
a time. The French engineers have
not been content to erect upon the
new frontier three or four first-class
fortresses to serve as points of sup
port for a defending army. They have
closed it with q double line of works,
linked these together by an elaborate
system of railways, and, besides re-
fortifying Paris, they have construct
ed two other great fortresses in the
heart of France to serve as bases of
operation for her armies if. as in 1870,
the barriers nearer the frontier were
again pressed by invading armies from
beyond the Rhine.-Rural National

Important to Dakota LAWYERS.

Three bills of great Importance to the
legal profession OF the territory became
laws at the late session. The following are
their provisions:
Council bill 1876, introduced by Mr..
Hughes, covers the entire practice on trial
up to the notice Of appeal to the supreme
court. It is the California practice as it
exists in that state. The old law was the
California practice in part, and was SO in
complete and uncertain in it's provisions
that it was very difficult to take case on
appeal to the supreme court.
Council bill 16O, introduced by Mr.. Nc
Cumber. provides for appeals from the dis.
trict to the supreme court. This bill begins
where the former bill leaves off, and is tho
Wisconsin practice. 1t is much more sim
pie in its provisions, and much less expen-
sive to litigants than the old law.
Council bill 147 introduced by Mr. Hughes,
defines the power OF the Judge OF court in
chambers and validates former orders and
judgments.

WISCONSIN MURDER TRIAL.
Trial Of David Allen at Neills1ile for tho Murder
Of Henry Wright

In May. 1886, Henry Wright. OF tho
town OF Royal, Clark county, Wis.,, was
taken sick and died under suspicious cir
cumstances. 1t wac developed that David
Allen, neighbor, had been sustaining lille.
it relations with Wright's wife. Allen and
Mrs: Wright were arrested and tried in jus.
ices court and Allen indicted for MUIR
der. Mrs. Wright made full confession,
but afterward recanted. In this comics.
Allen had agreed to kill both Mr.. Wright
| and Aliens wife by poison, and that she
and Allen poisoned Wright by putting
strychnine in his tea. 1t was said at the
time that Mrs. Allen, who for weeks had been
confined to her bed by some mysterious
illness, speedily regained her health alter
her husband had been consigned to Jail.
At the trial at Neillsville, one Derby, a
| neighbor OF Wright's testified: Intimacy
existed between the families of Wright and
Allen. Allen was continuously in attend
ance upon Wright in his illness and ap-
peared to purposcly avoid any one else
who came to wait upon Wright.
DR.. W. S. Hanes. the analytic chemist, OF
Chicago. who analysed the stomac CHI of Hen
ty Wright. testified to tho presence or ar.
senic in Wright's stomach.
Margaret Wright. widow of the deceased,
was called by the state. Counsel for the
defense objected to allowing her testifying
as it was stated that she was an accom-
plice, and would turn states evidence in
order to obtain immunity. The court de-
cided to hear her testimony. She testified:
There had been criminal intercourse be.
tween herself and Allen for about a year
previous to her husbands death, on May
3, 1886. Allen decided to get rid OF both
his vile and her husband, and that he would
then leave with the witness. He procured
strychnine at Neillsville, but as it tasted
bad, Wright could not be induced to
drink water containing it. Allen then
went to Milwaukee in April and purchased
arsenic, about two weeks before Wright's
death. Allen had her put some into cook.
next morning, which caused him to be very
sick. Seeing her husband in pain, sine relent
ed. got some lobelia stepped some and gave
him some tea. He vomited violently and
was relieved. Allen had stated to her that
he was giving the deceased doses of arsenic
and had repeatedly admitted giving him
poison. She did not give any person her
self any Of the cookies, nor did she consent
to giving any. Allen wanted her to 60 to
Chicago. and she would not. She told him
she would tell all, and he swore he would
hire men to swear against her. The wit
ness started for Marshfield and was arrest
ed at Loyal. She saw Allen once or twice
in Jail. Once he said he was sorry the wit
talked with him there were three men with
her Messrs. Woodward, Campbell and
Hill. They had correspondence in writing
and passed notes by a string.
Mrs. Wright's counsel produced letters
which the witness says she received from
Allen. The court house was crowded with
spectators.
